Plan ahead. Find out what cities Joel is traveling to this year. There are both U.S. and international dates listed on the screen if you watch his broadcast on Daystar or local television stations. Check your local TV listing or TV Guide for exact dates and times. The schedule is usually posted six months to one year in advance. You can also see the schedule flashing at the bottom of the screen during any Joel Osteen Broadcast. He is found on paid and local broadcast television. You can also call (800)279-4444.
Inquire as to the cost of tickets. The cost is usually not prohibitive, less than most major sporting events and concerts. Make sure you obtain enough for your whole group. You can call (800)279-4444 to order tickets or find out more about an appearance. Buy tickets as soon as you know you are going to attend the conference, as some cities will sell out quickly, depending upon the size of the arena.
Book hotel reservations if you are attending in a city that is not within driving distance or you want to make an overnight trip out of it. The hotels in the area can fill quickly during the conference.
Arrive early once you are at the conference so you can find the arena and parking. Use a map or GPS navigation system if you are unsure of the city you are in. You will also want plenty of time to find your way around the arena and locate your seats.
Take notes and have your Bible open throughout the conference so you are sure to obtain the most information. You may wish to highlight relevant passages as he points them out during your evening. You will also get more out of the conference if you bring a friend and participate where applicable.
